Abstract

Landscape is explored as a category of thought that allows for the narration of memories of kinship and neighborhood networks of the quilombo families of Vargem Grande, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As a native category, landscape records and witnesses the lives, activities and itineraries of past generations who have left their footsteps marked on it. Unlike landscape as an object, understood as a separate and external entity that is observed from a distance, this case study offers the prospect of a more symmetrical relationship between landscape and residents, challenging the ontological separation between subject and environment. In this definition, places constitute people and vice-versa; people and places constitute landscapes.
